Assonance
*The repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences, and together with alliteration and consonance serves as one of the building blocks of verse
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
Hear the mellow wedding bells.
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.
And murmuring of innumerable bees.
The crumbling thunder of seas.
That solitude which suits abstruser musings.
The scurrying furred small friars squeal in the dowse.
Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dark fox gone to ground.
Dead in the middle of little Italy, little did we know that we riddled two middle men who didn't do diddily."
It's hot and it's monotonous.
Tundi tur unda.
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground.
On a proud round cloud in a white high night.
I never seen so many Dominican women with cinnamon tans.
Up in the arroyo a rare owl's nest I did spy, so I loaded up my shotgun and watched owl feathers fly.
